Again, a lot of new free software has been made available for redistribution
by the EMBL File Server in the last few weeks.
VAX/VMS: GCGDBASE is the latest part of the GCGEMBL package written by Peter
Rice at EMBL. It includes all the routines for installing the new EMBL
database divisions and SwissProt into GCG. It also contains software
to create GbOnly, PIROnly, EmNew and GbNew databases.
CLUSTAL, the multiple sequence alignment program is now available
again!
TREEALIGN, another multiple sequence alignment and phylogeny
program can also be obtained from the EMBL File Server.
DOS: DNACLONE, a program for handling information on clones and strains.
MAC: MACCLADE, a phylogeny program
MACPLASMAP, for easy MacDraw-like drawing of plasmid maps.
Those that are new to the EMBL File Server should send a mail message (*no*
interactive messages!) to NETSERV at EMBL.BITNET containing the lines
